MultiHack 1.00 Beta

I have decided to go ahead and release the first beta to the public.

There are BOUND to be bugs, and there are still many things I want to do, things I want to enhance and windows I want to pretty up. If you like to break things, download this program and break it! I need the help finding everything!

What this version is, is a STRONG look at what MultiHack can do. All of the basic functionality is there. Make sure you read the included MS Word documentation file as well, that will help explain a lot of things.

You can add/delete/modify new/old hacks. You can import/export hacks, analyze hacks. Etc... It is all there.

I really recommend that you check it out and let me know what you would like to see changes/added/removed, whatever!

I am also working on a new website design for the entire site, and will have official MultiHack vB pages up soon. I plan on fully supporting this version of MultiHack, have no fear.

I will be asking people that have given good input and ideas on this beta test round to become official beta testers. Consider this just a tease.

I really hope you like the program and offer your feedback in support of it. I am writing this for you, the vB hack authors and installers, so if it doesn't do what YOU want it to do, tell me and I'm sure we can work something suitable out.

The download page is currently: http://www.multihack.com/download/vb

Remember, this is BETA, it WILL break at some point. Just let me know where it broke and what you did so I can fix it. Don't assume someone else told me about it, they didn't.

The log that windows generates really won't be of much help, it will be full of memory addresses that won't tell me much.

But you telling me where you had your trouble helps more than anything.

One thing you will want to do is make sure that your have set the local paths correctly, specifically the Source and Output Directorys.

Ok, I fixed the problem with adding a new mod on a new hack. Oversite on my part.

I have uploaded a 1.01 .EXE update on the download page. Download that .EXE file and overwrite your old .EXE file with this one. This fixes the problem with being unable to add a new mod on a new hack and a couple other minor things I found.

Ok, I fixed a few problems and added several new features. I hope to have the latest version up later tonight. The version will be 1.1.0. There is a list of fixes and new features on the below forum. Thanks to those that have emailed me with bug reports and suggestions, as well as those at my web site. =)

Please report any bugs or suggestions to me at troy@multihack.com or visit www.multihack.com/vbb

I installed the new version(overwrote EXE file) and opened it. It brought up the hack list. I clicked on the "New Hack" which was already there from my previous try, and hit edit, it crashed.

I liked this program when I ran UBB...
*downloads*

Dark Reaper,

Download an install the full 1.01 version and delete the old database. The bug that was there before allowed an invalid database entry to be created, thus the crash now.

YourHostSucks,

Glad you liked the UBB Version. I think that when this version is "complete" you will like this one even more. Let me know.

I download and installed, well it works until I press install..
Press Install = Program Crash..

(Windows 2000 Professional)

Do me a favor and email me your mhack.mhd file. There has to be something set wrong within the database and this is the only way I am going ot figure it out. Everything works find on my end. =) So PLEASE send me that file so I can check.

Also, I uploaded an update file as well to the download page. Version 1.10

File sent...

Also, not sure if it could be a problem..
But i do still have the UBB MutiHack installed

Got the file, thanks. Ohh, and there should't be a problem at all with having the UBB version of MHK installed.

I checked it and I couldn't find a problem. I created the exact same directory structure as your database file has. I made no changes to it in fact and ran the app. Everything worked as it should. No crashes or anything. With your paths as an example, make sure that it looks something like the following:

C:\- yourhostsucks.com\Multi_Hack\input

and that your \forums folder and everything below it (including the \forums folder itself) are placed within the input folder above. Also, make sure you are using the latest version. If you are using the 1.0.1 version that would explain all of these problems as it had a problem installing.

With the hack that was installed in the DB you sent me, I couldn't get that hack to work. Even with an external editor I couldn't find the "Old Data" reference you were making.

Let me know. =)
